vario MAX cube

Maximum performance on a micro foot print

The Dumas combustion method has become the worldwide used standard for accurate and fast determination of nitrogen, e.g. in agricultural products. Compared to the wet chemical Kjeldahl method it is superior in terms of speed, safety and environmental friendliness. The representative analysis of a natural product requires a larger sample size of up to 1 gram or more.

ELEMENTAR in Germany has been the pioneer in the development of analyzers not only for organic elemental analysis, but also in the analysis of macro sized samples.

ELEMENTAR introduced the macro N analyzer in 1988. It was the world's first combustion type nitrogen analyzer for samples up to 3 g using reusable steel crucibles.

The longest tradition in macro analyzer design combined with state of the art electronics, software and robotics has made the vario MAX cube the leading analyzer in terms of analytical performance, reliability, cost and speed of analysis.

Facts of superiority

Largest sample sizeup to 5 g sample weight for CN analysis. Up to 500 mg C & N absolute can be measured (depending on mode).

90 position autosamplerfor 5 ml steel crucibles for solids and liquids with virtually unlimited life. Automatic ash removal and rechargeable at any time also during operation.

Highest speed of analysisless than 4 min for N (sample to sample). High sample throughput is realized without interruption by blank and recalibration measurements.

Best precisione.g. 5 ppm N in beer or 10 ppm C in soil.

Extreme long time stabilityfor unattended, fully automated overnight operation. Only one blank value check is required per day.

Efficient water removala multistep condenser and Nafion(R) gas dryer results in along time maintenance free operation, even for continuous series of 2 ml aqueous samples.

vario MAX cube CNMacro analyzer for simultaneous CN determination.

This analyzer is particularly suitable for meats, grains, feeds, dairy products and beer for the determination of protein (N). In CN mode typical applications include plants tissue, soils, manure and compost samples as well as liquid extracts of these materials.

Cost-effective and easy to handle due the reusable crucibles and automatic ash removal.

Electronic micro balance:balance and elemental analyzer form a system. We offer micro balances and analytical balances from the leading manufacturers with our instruments.

soliTIC:addition for the determination of the total inorganic carbon in the sample.

Upgrade kit for the analysis of total organic carbon in solids (TOC)

Upgrade kit for ash determination

Software functionality according to 21 CFR Part 11

Our kits of consumables contain all necessary parts and chemicals for the corresponding mode. Under more it contains combustion/reduction tubes, all chemicals and instrument specific wear parts. We do not compromise on quality of the used parts and chemicals – this is the prerequisite of a guaranteed long lifetime of our instruments.
